Christmas. The Government will not prohibit traffic between municipalities on December 24 and 25 – National

There will be no movement restrictions between municipalities on Christmas Eve and Christmas. The measure still needs confirmation, but it is one that is being discussed by the António Costa executive in the next council of ministers, which is scheduled for this Friday, December 4. This and other measures will be revealed to the country on Saturday, by the prime minister.

So at least on December 24 and 25, there should be no limitations on circulation, something that is in line with the statements of António Costa. Despite guaranteeing that Christmas this year will not be normal, the prime minister promised “maximum pedagogy and minimum rules,” he told Rádio Observador.

Although there are no official confirmations yet, it is speculated that the Portuguese government’s plan involves lifting some restrictions at Christmas, says the “Observer. However, although there is no intention of separating families during the December holidays, the executive will be preparing a series of educational actions for the population, such as having public health specialists on television to explain how to celebrate safely.

António Costa had already stressed the need for people to be out of meals, since socializing at the table promotes closer contact, taking time and without maskshe said in an interview with the same publication. The prime minister also warned of the risk of movement between households, in which families are divided by several houses during the two holidays, and appealed to the “notion” of the Portuguese.

Thus, the inspections by the security forces of the norms established for the Christmas period, nor fines associated with their infringement, should not be reinforced, in preparation for a surgical relaxation of some norms during the holidays. But António Costa has already assured that the scenario will be very different on New Year’s Eve.

“There will be all restrictions because there cannot be any kind of tolerance. The limitation of movement may not be at 11 pm and it will be at 1 am, but from here we will not pass and certainly there will be no end of the year parties. That certainly Did not say. in an interview with “Observer”.
